Roos v. Commonwealth Edison Co., 91-ERA-52 (Sec'y June 24, 1992)


                          
DATE:  June 24, 1992
CASE NO. 91-ERA-52


IN THE MATTER OF
MICHAEL ROOS,
          COMPLAINANT,

v.

COMMONWEALTH EDISON CO., and FLUOR CONSTRUCTORS
INTERNATIONAL INC.,
           RESPONDENTS .


BEFORE:  THE SECRETARY OF LABOR


        FINAL ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND           
                             DISMISSING CASE

     The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) submitted an Order
Recommending Approval of Settlement in this case arising under
the employee protection provision of the Energy Reorganization
Act of 1974, as amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C.  5851 (1988).  I note
that the agreement encompasses the settlement of matters in
addition to those arising under the ERA.  See Settlement
Agreement and General Release      ¶ 3.  For the reasons set
forth in Poulos v. Ambassador Fuel Oil Co.. Inc., Case No.
86-CAA-l, Sec. Order, November 2, 1987, slip op. at 2, I have
limited my review of the agreement to determining whether its
terms are a fair, adequate, and reasonable settlement of
Complainant's allegations that Respondent violated the ERA.  I
find the terms of the settlement to be fair, adequate and
reasonable, and therefore I approve it.  Accordingly, this case
is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Settlement Agreement ¶ 4.

     SO ORDERED.

                          Secretary of Labor
